Great for active music lovers
on June 10, 2016
Posted by: RMatSLU
from Tampa, FL
I have the Tours and love the sound but cable constantly gets in the way. At the gym or even mowing the lawn, the cable always seems to get caught and come out of my ear so I got these to avoid the inconvenience. When I first put them on, I noticed that the sound wasn't nearly as crisp as the Tours. I also noticed that the bass was non-existent. I tried the different ear plugs and came to find that one of the 4 sets actually puts off more bass than the others. The sound quality also improved. Before giving up on the sound, please try all of the ear plugs as they are different sizes and will each give you slightly different sound. They are pretty comfortable. After wearing them for an hour and a half, I am ready to take them off but they are much more comfortable than the iPhone ear buds. They are very lightweight so I doubt to find something more comfortable than this. I still prefer the sound from the Tours a bit more but these definitely serve their purpose. They work great with the iPhone and calls are very clear for both myself and person on the other end. They do cancel out all noise so if using as a headset while driving, make sure to only keep your left earplug in because you will not hear any outside noise (horns, sirens, etc).
I would highly recommend these for someone who is active and who doesn't want the hassle of a cable. If you are fine with the cable and want earbuds (instead of headphones), I'd suggest saving a few bucks and getting the Tours.

Great fridge for a smaller space
on October 6, 2014
Posted by: RMatSLU
from Tampa, FL
I was bummed when I ordered a full size 35 3/4in fridge and it wouldn't fit in our kitchen. We were off by less than an inch. After walking into Best Buy's new appliance store, the rep showed us a couple of 33in fridges that would work for us and there are not many to choose from. We found an LG that was a 35 3/4 that we fell in love with and this 33in had the same features but they didn't have it in the store since it was brand new so we went in to the purchase without actually touching or seeing it in person. We fell in love with is when it was delivered. The fridge is very spacious with many compartments and drawers that can be moved around. The ice maker takes us little space on the door and works perfect. The water comes out a little awkward because of where it is but I love it because it makes it easy to fill up any type of container and any size container. The freezer holds more than expected. It is a beautiful fridge. I initially wanted the silver but all of our appliances are black so we went with the black and it looks great. The only knock is that is does collect smudges and finger prints so we do have to wipe it down every day but that takes 10 seconds.

Great dryer with easy to use settings
on October 6, 2014
Posted by: RMatSLU
from Tampa, FL
Wife and I purchased this dryer with the matching washer 2 months ago. It was a great upgrade for us as our older set was pretty beat up. We love it so far. Many different settings that actually work. I put a comforter in there on the wrong setting and it didn't completely dry. Put another comforter in on the correct setting and it came out perfect. I know that's what it supposed to do but I'm coming from a set that just had temperature settings and length of time to dry for so you had to figure it out. The settings on this dryer makes it very easy to use. It is pretty quiet, holds a very big load of cloths, towels or linens, very easy to use and looks great. Another neat feature is that you can change the door to open either way which is great in the case that you prefer to have it on one side of the laundry room. Overall, this is a great dryer at a great price from a trusted name.

Cloths have never smelled cleaner or looked better
on October 6, 2014
Posted by: RMatSLU
from Tampa, FL
Wife and I are ecstatic about this purchase. We have had it for 2 months now and couldn't be happier. Came from an older washer and dryer that needed to be replaced. This washer has many settings yet very easy to use. It uses minimal water to wash, it is very quiet and the cloths come out smelling cleaner than ever. Can handle big load of cloths or the smallest of loads as it has a sensor that allows the machine to fill up with the correct amount of water every time. The dryer was a great addition as well but I will leave that comment under the product. Here it is just in case: http://www.bestbuy.com/site/samsung-7-4-cu-ft-9-cycle-electric-dryer-white/3656024.p?id=1219092665945&skuId=3656024&ref=199&loc=jo/pTdthTuc&acampID=1&siteID=jo_pTdthTuc-TSyvyHK1M3O.Ekxs5USqIg

Great product, durable, not bulky
on May 6, 2014
Posted by: RMatSLU
from Tampa, FL
We use these for our corporate iPhones and absolutely love them. Switched over from the Defender as they were a little too bulky. Since I was so impressed with the iPhone Commuter, I purchased one for my wife's Samsung S4. Easy install, great protection, light weight and it comes with the screen protector for no additional charge. It does not bulk it up like some other cases but offers great protection from drops and bumps. Easy to access all of the ports and does not restrict charger or headphone cable. Only knock is that it can be a little slippery because of the plastic casing.

What's great about it: Great protection, doesnt take away from the thin feel of the phone
What's not so great: A little slippery as the outside cover is nearly all plastic

Upgraded from a 40in Sony and I was contemplating between this and the 50in M series (3d and 240 refresh rate) for the same price but we decided on this because of the size and I don't believe I will use the 3d enough yet. Picked it up Sat, just in time for the Superbowl and setup was fairly easy. Picture was very good for the game and I had 0 complaints. Blurays are absolutely amazing in full 1080p! The voice was not matching up with the lips and though there is an audio setting to change it, it wasn't moving enough so I called Vizio support. Most impressive support call I have ever had. Got through to a tech immediately and they fixed my problem with a few quick steps.
The picture presets give you plenty of viewing options and of course you can calibrate to your liking. There are plenty of inputs. I hooked an external hard drive up to the tv and was able to view all of my photos and videos. Very simple to use and I love that I no longer need the laptop in between.
Netflix, Vudu and Pandora were super easy to setup and quicker than ever to log in to since the remote has a full keyboard on the opposite side!
The sound is better than I expected for such a flat tv but you still need a soundbar or surround system. Blacks are not where I'd like to see them but better than my Sony and better than most that I have seen. I'd like to see slightly richer colors but I'm just figuring out how to self-calibrate. I may invest in a calibration DVD.
If you are looking for 4K quality, go spend the money but if you are looking for a very good picture on a budget, this is a no-brainer. I don't call it great because 4K is great however this is very good!
Internet content most enjoyed: Netflix, Vudu, Youtube, Pandora

How Often Used:Daily
Needed earbuds for working out and the iphone buds are uncomfortable. These are as comfortable as you can get for an earbud. The new design keeps them in your ear (as I read reviews that the originals fell out from time to time). It took me a while to find the ideal fit since it comes with various sizes but I definitely found it after a few attempts. The tangle-free cord definitely serves it purpose and it is very lightweight. The sound is as clear as I've heard from buds. The controls work perfect for the iphone. Not sure about the droid. Comes with a small case that's pretty heavy duty. Never imagined paying this much for earbuds but so far I have no regrets.

By far, best baseball game I've played
on February 12, 2010
Posted by: RMatSLU
from Tampa, FL
Awesome expecially if you appreicate the game. Standard game playing is great. Graphics are precise, the game controls are great from controlled sliding to pitching controls. It is very realistic. In "Road to the Show", you make the 40 man roster and after spring trainig, they place you in A, AA or AAA depending on your spring. You earn attributes based on reaching goals and can add them where you feel appropriate. I made it to the bigs after 2 seasons in the minors so it took me about 3 weeks. I play SS so when fielding, the camera is from the fielders eye and not the batter so it is very realistic. When baserunning, you are in the runner's eye so you control only the runner. Be careful with pickoffs because the pitchers are good. You only play the plays you are involved in so you can play a game in about 15 minutes thus you can finish an entire season in about a week. You can create personalized cheers and jeers for yourself. Awesome feature. Can't wait for 2010 version to come out.
What's great about it: Features, graphics, Road to the Show where you start in the minors and work your way up, modified chants from the crowd
What's not so great: ADDICTING

Amazing sound quality. High highs and low lows. Tangle free cord does exactly what it should and the controls are ideal for the iphone. They cancel outside noise almost too well.

Great
February 11, 2014
I contradicted myself with calling it great in the original title. It is very good, but again 4k is great so I'll stick with very good. A week later and the only thing that I am trying to do is get the right calibration. Blurays on this TV look amazing! Regular cable through the HDMI at 1080i are still just ok. I'm still playing with calibration to see if I can improve.

Capture more of your surroundingswith the GoPro Hero session. The Superview modes capture more above and below the focal point, providing wider and taller images. Auto Image Rotation captures right-side-up footage, even when mounted upside down. The one-button control and smaller, lighter design make the GoPro Hero session a versatile camera for your adventures.

Ok - could be better
By JDP3
Great quality of picture but the fact that you can't adjust the volume or turn volume off so it doesn't beep makes me just wish I ponied up. I have the Hero 2 & Hero 3 and needed a third for angled shots. The volume is loud, annoying, and can't be used when hunting for sure. Seems like an easy programmable solution... Just wish they would have thought of that.

I read here you need to be within range to connect via WiFi to a phone or tablet - how far is that range? Does it need to be on you? What if it is on the beach and you are in the water, etc.

The wifi connect does not work when the camera under water. As far as range, it works from a good distance away. I would say mine works up to around 50 feet. It's similar to connecting your phone to a Bluetooth speaker and walking away from the device.
